Yellowstone

About a month ago we decided to go up to Yellowstone with some family.  We didn't get to see very many animals until we left but we still had a lot of fun seeing all the other stuff.  The kids loved the geysers, they thought it was cool to see the smoke and Tale thought they were volcanos. I was so scared that they were going to fall in, and they really had no idea how hot that water was, and kept trying to touch it.  So that was kind of scary.  
Tale kept thinking we were going to see way more animals so he was kind of bummed about that.  But all in all it was a good trip.








Preschool

My Tale boi went to preschool this month.  What a big boy.  He was so excited to go once I got him an avengers back pack.  :)  What a hard task it is to try to find a preschool.  Man, it took me up to the day before school started to decide.  But he has been enjoying it so much.  

This was him on his first day.  How handsome he is and what a big boy!
He was the first one out and ran to me when he saw me, it was so cute.  But he was so excited to show me what was in his back pack and to tell me when he did.  Oh I loved seeing him so excited and having him tell me about his day.  
 Leila was excited for her brother too, she was pretty bummed she couldn't go with him.  They go to nursery together at church so she didn't understand why she couldn't go to this school.

While it is awesome to see him go and learn and grow up a bit, it is bittersweet.  I can't believe we are getting into that age, next year will be Leila and then Tylana.  Some days I just can't wait for all of them to be in school, and others I just don't want to let them go.  

The other hard thing about it is that it is only 2 hours, it doesn't seem long enough.  But perhaps that is all a 3 year old needs but for me it seems too fast.  Not really enough time to do things, or too much time to do something.  Like grocery shopping.  I can't really grocery shop for 2 hours, nor do I want to go home and unload everything plus the two girls only to load them back up in 15 mins.  Anyways, glad my son loves it and glad to have sometime with my girls.
